FYI - Kotani Pay currently uses Firebase for data storage in the current tech stack, however work is going on to migrate to MongoDB. I will share updates once the transition is complete in order to proceed with the review.

It's not only Firebase for data storage, they also use functions and auth

Kotani Pay over the last couple of weeks has undergone the following platform migrations to help achieve platform independence:

• Migration from Firestore to MongoDb has been completed
• Migration from firebase functions to handling our own managed VPS
• Migration from FirebaseAuth to managing our own Password (OpenId is on the Roadmap)

Hence Firebase offers a soft dependence as opposed to the past where is was used for database and authentication.

Kotani Pay has confirmed the following migration updates:

1. we are operational without Firebase admin i actually should remove it from the dependencies . (we had it there as a migration )
2. We aren't using Firebase Admin , we are handling our own user and passwords in MongoDB (later moving to openId to support, login via third parties)

Hence now passes indicator #4 - platform independence.
